I remember being able to import PDF files into Flash when I had the MX 2004 version, but now with the CS3 Professional version, the following problems occur:

- PDF files aren’t shown as importable in the Import window when “All Formats” is selected.
- If I switch to “All Files” and select the PDF file to import, a message appears: “One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them.”

I have tried to import various PDF files, but Flash CS3 Pro will not let me. Is there something I’m forgetting or do I have to download a plug-in for this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
